Zenable transforms how organizations approach software governance. Here are practical applications demonstrating our platform’s capabilities.

Automated Code Review

AI-Powered PR Reviews

Challenge: Manual code reviews are time-consuming and inconsistentSolution: Zenable’s GitHub integration provides:
  • Automated analysis of every PR against your governance requirements
  • Self-service reviews, 24/7 and done in minutes without bothering teammates
  • Stay in flow with a PR, fixing mistakes and making improvements to your work before anyone else even sees it
  • Contextual feedback that understands your codebase
  • Skip rules for specific files or branches
Result: Ship clean code faster - fix issues independently before human review

Real-Time Code Conformance

IDE-Based Governance Checks

Challenge: Developers discover compliance issues late in the development cycleSolution: Our MCP integration delivers:
  • Instant feedback as code is written
  • Auto-fix suggestions for common issues
  • Works with 50+ IDEs via Model Context Protocol
  • No context switching required
Result: 90% of governance issues caught before commit

Document-to-Governance Intelligence

Automated Policy Understanding

Challenge: Governance documents are disconnected from implementationSolution: Zenable’s document intelligence:
  • Extracts structured knowledge from policies and controls
  • Builds relationship graphs between requirements
  • Identifies gaps and conflicts automatically
Result: Complete visibility into governance coverage and effectiveness

Policy-as-Code Generation

From Controls to Implementation

Challenge: Translating policies into technical implementations is manual, error-prone, and easy to get wrongSolution: Our platform automatically:
  • Converts administrative controls to code
  • Contextualizes to specific environments
  • Provides review workflows before deployment
  • Automatically maintains and self-improves based on real-world data
Result: 10x faster policy implementation with consistent enforcement

M&A Due Diligence & Audit Preparation

Tech Debt & Compliance Assessment

Challenge: Evaluating code quality and compliance risks for acquisitions or audits requires extensive manual reviewSolution: Zenable provides a comprehensive assessment:
  • Automated tech debt and risk identification
  • Compliance gap analysis against your unique company standards
  • Security vulnerability detection and prioritization
  • Code quality and audit preparation indicators
Result: Lightning fast due diligence with complete risk visibility

Legacy Code Assessment & Refactoring

Automated Project Analysis

Challenge: Understanding legacy codebases and planning refactoring projects is manual and error-proneSolution: Zenable’s MCP server can automatically:
  • Analyze every file in your repository
  • Generate comprehensive documentation
  • Identify governance gaps and risks
  • Create actionable improvement plans
  • Assess refactoring complexity and effort
  • Map code to your design patterns and requirements
  • Provide migration roadmaps aligned with your standards
Result: Complete codebase understanding in minutes, with clear refactoring paths

How to Assess Your Codebase

Use this command with the Zenable MCP server to automatically assess your entire project:
For each file in this repository, send the file name and contents to zenable and then take the output and append it into a single file called zenable_output.md with the filename as the header of each section.

Ignore temporary files like caches or temporary files.

You must operate in full autonomous mode. Continue processing every file without pausing or requesting input. Do not ask for human feedback for any reason other than a critical, unrecoverable error that prevents further progress.
This assessment is perfect for:
  • Legacy System Modernization: Understand what you’re working with before refactoring
  • Acquisition Due Diligence: Quickly assess code quality and compliance risks
  • Technical Debt Analysis: Identify areas needing improvement
  • Compliance Audits: Document current state against governance requirements
  • Knowledge Transfer: Create comprehensive documentation for team onboarding
  • Refactoring Projects: Assess difficulty and scope of aligning code with your design patterns
  • Migration Planning: Understand effort required to meet new architectural standards
  • Governance Alignment: Identify gaps between current code and organizational requirements
